quotes the experience Of feeder in the

system of soaking the fodder with hot

wheat, barley or oat straw, is chaffed
and laid out in n leap on good level
floor, and the concentrated food mixed
with it. Hot water is then thrown over
the pile uutil the water begins to ooze
out at the base. The gentleman referred
to who used wheat and barley straw,
fed l08 fat bullocks and IS young cattle

HOW TO JUDGE SHEEP.


Some Of the Principal Points Giving Eu
dence Of Good Qualities-
Purity of blood is Invaluable, cspe-
cially in the male sheep, as he is chiefly
to be relied on when crossing or inn
proving the breed is desired. The En-
glish downs are considered the hest for
producing first-class mutton, while the
merinoes are remembered for producing
the finest wool. The principal points
sought for in seeep are those that give
evidence of their fattening properties; a
straight back, broad loins. roundness
of body are valuable points. A good
formed animal is one with plenty Of
flesh, evenly put on, and as little bone
as possible. The following gives re-
quirements for mutton sheep: Head
moderately fine; nostrils wide; eyes
prominent; ears broad. moderately long.
thin and covered with short hair; collar
full from breast and shoulders, taper
ing gradually all the way to where the
back and head join; neck short, thick
and strong and free from coarse and
loose skin; shoulders broad and full,
and at the same time join SO gradually
to the collar forward and the chine
backward as not to leave the least hollow
in either place; fore legs, the mutton on
the arm or fore-thigh should come quite
to the knee; leg with heavy bone and
upright, clear from superfiuous skin,
should stand out square and well apart;
breast, broad and well forward, keep
ing the legs wide apart; girth or chest,
full and deep; fore flank quite full, not
showing hollow behind shoulder; back
and loin, broad. nat and straight, from
which the ribs must spring with fine
circular arch. Belly, straight on under
line; quarters, long and full, with NUT
ton quite down to the hook; hook should
stand neither in nor out, but straight;
twist or junction inside the thighs. deep,
wide and full, wife broad breast, will
keep the legs open and upright; the
whole body should be covered with wool,
of a close texture, of good length and
fine quality Practical Farmer.

Boston Bulletin.
TO prevent ivory knife-handles from
being cracked, never let knife-bladcs
stand in hot water as is sometimes done
to make them wash easily. The heat
expands the steel which runs into the
handle a very little and this cracks the
ivory. Knife-handles should never lie
in water. A handsome knife, or one
used for cooking, is easily spoiled in
this way.-Atbany journal.
In common with clay, calcareous
earth possesses the power of making
sandy soils more close and firm. and. in
common with sand, the power of making
clay soils lighter, or more open and
mellow. When sand and clay thus alter
the texture of soils, their operation is
altogether mechanical; but calcareous
earth must exert chemical action in
producing such effects, as its power is
far greater than that of either sand or
clay.-N T. Herald.
